Former Senator Shehu Sani has praised the residents of Gobir in Sokoto State for taking decisive action against the bandits that have been terrorizing their community. In a viral video, thousands of residents can be seen storming the forest to confront the bandits directly.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the video, Sani emphasized that the time for the people to take a stand against banditry is now. He highlighted the importance of community action in combating the persistent threat, especially given the failure of security agencies to effectively address the issue.<\/p>\n
Sani, who has previously expressed sorrow over the killing of the Emir of Gobir and the ongoing kidnappings in the northern regions, reiterated the need for a grassroots approach. On his Facebook page, he advocated for a “People\u2019s Shahada action,” a mass movement aimed at reclaiming the lands, forests, and farms from the grip of banditry.<\/p>\n
He suggested that collaboration between vigilantes and security agencies is crucial for achieving lasting peace, and he prayed for the restoration of security in the region. Sani’s call to action reflects a growing sentiment among communities in the North West that they must take their safety into their own hands to ensure a future free from violence and fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
